Andorra's metallurgical tradition dates back to ancient times. Between the 17th and 19th centuries, the ironworks represented the golden age of the country's iron and steel industry. In a small production area known as the workshop, craftsmen were able to transform iron ore into ingots that were exported with great success to the Catalan market.

Farga Rossell also offers information on how to follow the Iron Route and discover other places related to the world of iron in Andorra.

The ironworks were the greatest exponents of rural industry in the Pyrenees. La Farga Rossell is a faithful historical portrait of the ironworks built in the mid- 19th century and was one of the last and most modern metallurgical centres in the country. A multimedia show and various audiovisual presentations introduce visitors to the world of iron.
